(a) Proposal to create 2746 in PB-2,GP-Rs5400/- and 1000 post in Rs5400/-in PB-3 with provision of promotion to the post of AWM and with name of JWM SG-1 & 2 is already forwarded to Defence/ Finance. It will be modified. The Ratio of T and NT (60:40) will be rationalised. The nos of posts in PB-3 will be increased and PB-2 will be decreased in equal nos and she directed OFB reps to decide increase in nos. amicably and to forward themodification to MOD at the earliest. Name of newly increased post shall be Section Manager & Sr.Section Manager. OFB reps and JS assured that this creation of posts shall be for financial up-gradations only & these will not be counted as propmotions. So if MACP in Hirachy is accepted by Govt. there will be no loss to the cadre. Specfically DDG/IR assured for the same.
After this once again, the under signed stated that we have come with mandate from our people to propose creation of post in PB-3 only with provision for promotion to the post of WM directly which is not being agreed by the official side. In the last moment Once again it was requested to accept our proposal to make it in line with our mandate. After this she stated that if Associations wants their own proposal then the current process will be stopped and nothing will happen. She advised to let it be done at this moment because she is interested to complete this work at this time making all the efforts at her best level whereas she will not be able to get approved all the posts 3700 nos in PB-3 at a time as per her experience. She also told that this cadre review is not last step for betterment of cadre, if any problem remains in future after this Cadre review the same will be addressed in next steps. She also emphasised it has became very late. We must do it before proposal of 7th CPC. Lastly she pressed hard to let it be done.
3. Other points.
